European Funding for InnovationResearch versus Innovationo Research is the generation of new knowledgeo Innovation is the conversion of knowledge into successful business o Research consumes money whilst innovation generates money
Within the European Commissiono Research is supported by DG Researcho Innovation is supported by DG Enterprise & Industry
Over the period 2007 – 2013o Research budget is approx. € 53 billion (FP7)o Innovation budget is approx € 1.1 billion

Europe INNOVA
The principal initiative within DG Enterprise & Ind ustry to support industrial innovation, mainly by funding the development of new tools and instrumentsThree eco -innovation projects funded to start in 2010Three eco -innovation projects funded to start in 2010o BIOCHEMo REMAKEo INNOWATER
Total BIOCHEM budget is €4.4 milliono Including €2.85 million from the EC (65%)
BIOCHEM supports one of the EU ‘Lead Markets’ –bio-based products

Drivers and Challenges to Innovation
SOCIETAL DRIVERS
Climate Changeo EU target of 20% GHG reduction o EU target of 20% GHG reduction
by 2020
Security of raw material supplyo Reducing dependency on fossil fuels
Creation of new jobs

Drivers and Challenges to Innovation
BUSINESS DRIVERSGrowth in demando Switching from hydrocarbon to carbohydrate
feed stocks for making chemicals• 2010- $125 billion global• 2020- $250 billion global
o One third of chemicals and materials will be produced from biological sources by 2030
o Demand for ‘green’ products
Cost Benefitso Cost of petroleum feed stocks will at some point
exceed the cost of renewable biomasso ... and technology costs will reduce

Bio -Based ProductsDefinition: Non-food products derived from biomass (plants, algae, crops, trees, marineorganisms and biological waste from households, animals and food production). Bio-basedproducts may range from high-value added fine chemicals such as pharmaceuticals,cosmetics, food additives, etc., to high volume materials such as general bio-polymers orchemical feed stocks.
IMPORTANCE
o 7% of global sales $ 77 billion in value within the chemical sector (2005) o EU industry accounting for ~ 30% of this value

Lead Market Potential and Market Barriers Hampering Innovation
Broad market segment
Demand driven instead of
Strategic societal and economic BIO-based
Barriers that hamper innovation• Significant investment required with high risk• Lack of awareness of Industrial Biotech and its
S&T and societal benefits• Lack of availability of facilities and access to first
instead of technology push
Reduction of CO2 and responsible use
of resuources
Added value of prospective,
concerted and targeted, but flexible policy instruments
and economic interest
BIO-based products:
Lead Market
Potential
• Lack of availability of facilities and access to first users to test out new bio-based technology
• Companies not well connected to each other, to the technology base or to their potential supply chains.
BIOCHEM Project
BIOCHEM
Overall Objective :
To develop practical solutions which will lower the barriers to innovation in bio -based products

BIOCHEM: ObjectivesDevelop a new and tailored integrated BIOCHEM toolbox forproviding technical and business support to reduce barrier s to take-up ofIndustrial Biotech, particularly for small and medium-size d companies
Test the toolbox through a European BIOCHEM accelerator process, thatTest the toolbox through a European BIOCHEM accelerator process, thatselects high potential bio-based SMEs and supports them fromidea identification to bio-based business plan developmen t, findinginternational business partners, realising proof-of-con cept up toattracting finance and market introduction
Complete a comprehensive assessment of the bio-based productsmarket and potential, deploy a broad dissemination action in order toincrease the awareness of its potential for the chemistry-u sing sector
